Major Life Declutter Journey

Part a series of digital journal entries from the past

DECLUTTER

I believe that life is a beautiful order out of huge messiness. It is in the core of creation, life, and all sciences: The world is an intricate Order to an infinite possibility of chaos.
(this is not an absolute definition, but it sort of explains the picture till I make it more clear to myself.)

So, to speak, I have decided to work on my order, as to imitate the universal ways, in order to truly appreciate this magnificence that we live. This order I am seeking is very personal, as I have only a set of interests and skills, and scope of life that is very exclusive to my own person. Therefore, what I experience is 100% tailored to fit only myself, my beliefs, vision, goals, dreams, and things that up my levels of excitement in my life. that could be due to certain societal impacts, brain structure, etc.

The reasons are infinite, and I don’t know the answer, but so be it. That’s not my concern anymore, as I have finally made peace into what are the things in my life that I would finally settle on exploring and specializing in throughout the journey of my life.

interestingly enough, one of these things that has had a positive influence on me is my passion for ordering things. Honestly, I don’t know if the interest came first, or my personal understanding of how the world works (in order). Who came first? The chicken or the egg?

and so my interest in organizing stuff and putting them into place, and creating new ways of organizing (Ordering) through design thinking and seeking innovative solutions. Both of these are majors of my personal expertise that I have been studying for 5 years in Architecture school, and even prior to that through exploring creativity in the most unusual ways from a very young age. This all has finally mixed well in the brew that has cultivated both my interest and experience in many creative fields.

though creativity can be in any field, which brings us up to my own personal dilemma, the lack of focus!!

Now ironically, because I have exposed myself to so many fields in the period of my lifetime, I find myself in a mess all the time, both physically and mentally. I would love to elaborate more on that at another time. But the main outcome I want to conclude for now is: this is the reason I am now focused more on the organizational part rather than a specific field and aspect of my interests.

My claim (and hope) is that when I analyze and understand my self, belongings, behaviors, and actions, I will finally be able to order this mess in my chaotic life, and finally make sense of all of this through the projects I always dream about

(daydreaming: an addiction, a disease, creative but mind-consuming)

This is going to be one whole life constitution. Something like a personal bible for living and creating. It's technical, spiritual, philosophical, as well as emotional at times.

this digital realm will finally allow me to speed up the process of my organizational, and documentation process, and make way for more important outcomes rather than my extreme focus on the tools!

--------

Up next, there will be a whole intricate system of documentation and a backing-up routine. My next phase will have a mix of documenting the past events and results of previous declutters, with the current flow of development

it is very important to be consistent in this process as this will be my daily exercise for mindfulness and a new technical aspect in my journey

This Article is part of a Series about my post-graduation decluttering journey. The series was initially written at an earlier stage of the process purely for the purpose of mental clarity. It was never really completed, neither the process nor the stories.

I am slowly picking up the pace again for decluttering for reasons which i will be diving into throughout the articles.
